Introducing r/blue_tracker Posted: 06 Feb 2020 10:58 AM PST Hello r/Diablo, I have been working for a few weeks in a tool that gathers all Blizzard's CM comments in both the official forums and their corresponding subreddits. I created a subreddit on r/blue_tracker and a Twitter account @blue_tracker that makes a new post with the content of the comment and a link to the source. There is also a sticky post containing the official comments of the day so far. This changes every day. It might have some bugs here and there but it is pretty much finished. Feel free to stop by and, if you find it useful, subscribe and leave a comment! [go to r/blue_tracker] I also plan to make a post at the end of the week in r/Diablo with links to all posts for that week, I tried to contact the moderators of this subreddit but I got no answer so I hope it's OK submitted by /u/RandomMan00 [link] [comments]

Frenzy Barb Mechanics & Thoughts Posted: 06 Feb 2020 07:25 PM PST Hi everyone, I just spent ~8h testing Barb almost exclusively and here are some things I found for you potential Frenzy players: Enemies take double damage only from Barbs using the 2pc set and only when they are actually feared (Jugger / RGs are immune) Extra Frenzy attacks from Bastion's Revered are all done as one big extra hit simulatenously with your attacks Stricken stacks very well on your main target (90%+ of procs will be on it) 1 chance at Sidearms proc per attack, not 11 chances Buffed Warcries stack with other buffed and non-buffed if different runes are used Build is quite squishy, aim for 2b+ toughness at least (Band of Might required). Lots of toughness from 60% dodge warcry = you still still get smacked hard sometimes Imo Mortick's Brace is a trap, Vambraces of Sescheron are better (everyone is running Mortick) Best playstyle seems to be: skip most trash, make decent pull around elites, hold fear as long as possible and use it as a finisher during CoE after the density is gone Narrow maps / corners are great to get enemies stuck with fear, the build should be quite consistent when pushing Efficient speedfarming is practically impossible since the build heavily relies on Bane of the Stricken for clear too. I did some 115s with experimental setups in time but still needed 7min for a mere 100 Decent P1500 character can probably do up to GR127 or so, P5000 maybe up to GR135 (~7-8 tiers behind WW) The missing Sidearms + fear immunity on RG make it so that Barb has no chance to compete with other RGKs in 4man (our calculations show ~160-210sec kills on GR150 at P5000 with BiS gear vs. ~95-105sec for CL Necro and HF Crus. Since we can't go beyond GR150, Barb's biggest advantage of fast Stricken cannot be exploited further) After S20 buff is gone CL Necro will be dead and all other things being equal the gap between Crus and Frenzy closes a little (Crus gains Furnace, Barb gains nothing in S20) but still not enough ​ Opinion: The set doesn't live up to its name, where are my Sidearm procs :( Fear mechanics are fun and refreshing and have great strategical depth No perma WotB is awesome, makes the build feel more alive and gives a little sense of control Rest of the gameplay is very boring, you want to stick to one elite (preferably yellow) and hold left-click until its dead and hopefully never have to target anything else Chasing feared enemies is too difficult, most often I don't use it at all unless the enemy is actually cornered or stuck. They just outrun you most of the time Ground Stomp is an option to prevent the need to chase enemies around, but without Leap / Charge as a mobility skill that also procs Band of Might you get stuck everywhere and it's clunky as hell The build is missing some kind of burst and dynamic dps cycle when fear is out of the equation. It feels more like the rift plays you and not the other way around, you have little control over what you are (optimally) allowed to attack and when to do so. I'd like to have something else to do besides holding one button (some combo / finisher to add some excitement) In the current version I don't think most people will stick to this very long even though the fear focus is a brilliant addition the game. For farming it's outclassed by WW by a mile, gameplay becomes stale quickly and in high 4man it's no match for other RGKs (unless we get more Sidearms + fear on RG) ​ Bonus: Mantle of Channeling can be maintained permanently by doing a 1s channel - cast - 1s channel cycle repeatedly, so WW builds shouldn't suffer much. Seems very macroable, but with some practice also relatively reliable manually (I was able to get consecutive 30s streaks of Mantle uptime in town). DH Strafe builds will be extremely clunky now and this change as a side-effect of nerfing Bazooka seems out of place. I'd much rather see the Mantle nerf undone and double down on Deathwish / Etched Sigil nerfs (make it 2-3 sec delay for example). It would also help to prevent Wizards from just macroing their whole gameplay all over again if precisely timed channeling is not the best option anymore. Edit: Here's some GR 115 gameplay. I estimated my character to be around the powerlevel of a P1500 player in a regular season (here I have potato gear, no augments, only lvl 100 Simplicity etc).

Diablo III Switch? Posted: 06 Feb 2020 03:24 PM PST Kinda of a 2 part question. I started playing a lot of Path I'd Exile (which may or may not be a sin to say here I'm not sure) but I'm on the go so much I hardly have time to sit down and play on my PS4. I saw that diablo 3 now has seasons kinda like PoE has leagues (I played D3 when it first released, got to 70 and quit so it's new for me to see). It made me interested to get it for the switch. since that is my primary console of choice. Now for the questions , 1) is the game active on switch/does it run decent enough to handle endgame stuff? 2) Are the seasons similar to that of PoE in the way the function? Since d3 has a hearty price tag attached to it for switch I'm just trying to see if it's worth getting purely so I can play more often, or just stick with the free to play PoE submitted by /u/undefined_something [link] [comments]

Diablo 4 Plot Ideas Posted: 06 Feb 2020 10:49 PM PST Wondering whether Lilith will be championing the cause of freeing Nephalem from the eternal conflict and from manipulation from heaven and hell. We know she tired of the conflict once, and in the trailer we see the bald guy asking her to "save" us/him. I think it'd make for a much more nuanced and intriguing plot if Lilith is leading a band of Nephalem who have this goal, and we choose to fight against it; though I'm struggling to find a good reason why we, as a Nephalem, would choose to save Heaven and Hell. Maybe Tyrael has a good reason. It's now been very well established that the Nephalem are the strongest beings in the Diablo universe, and it'd be a strange choice to keep throwing non-Nephalem baddies at heroes who can take down the Prime Evil.

Thoughts on a Diablo 4 Seasonal "Battle Pass" Posted: 06 Feb 2020 10:47 PM PST Hello Everyone, I have been really getting into Apex Legends lately. More specifically I have been thoroughly enjoying the seasonal battle pass that they have and how they increase my wanting to level up with the amount of content that is provided for my money and efforts to gain those leves and cosmetics. This enjoyable aspect of Apex Legend got me thinking of if this could be something that the Diablo 4 development team could implement as well. I wanted to know what the Diablo community thought of an idea relating to having seasonal cosmetics added to the game, and being able to either purchase them outright, or pay a smaller fee to acquire these cosmetics through time played. My idea would be to have a separate level bar besides main character level. This would allow for Diablo 4 to have a finite level max, as well as appeal to the group that likes to grind levels beyond that. Weather these battle pass levels are harder to obtain, or are obtained through doing specific things within the game (similar to Apex) is something that could be discussed. submitted by /u/otisrust [link] [comments]

End-Game Posted: 06 Feb 2020 04:11 PM PST What would you like to see as end-game for an aRPG game, or D4 in particular ? I was thinking about this after giving pagan online some thought. That game has many problems but one thing everyone agreed on is the end-game is lacking.. And that is just a copy of D3's endgame, but more grindy to accomodate the lack of seasonal format (like vanilla D3). I'm not huge fan of this kind of activity but the cheer amount of hate it got really surprised me, given that D3 is all about a very similar design and it dont get nearly as much hate. So, really, what do you expect from aRPG end game ? This looks like a total puzzle to me. Everything will be either too grindy or dont keep people interested for longer than 3 weeks. submitted by /u/italofoca [link] [comments]

What’s next after hitting 70? Posted: 06 Feb 2020 06:03 PM PST I just recently started playing D3 and love it! I have a sader at 70 and started doing rifts and greater rifts, but unsure what else I can do for him to fully get the most out of D3. What's the point of Kanai's cube and is it beneficial?

PISSED OFF!!! Posted: 06 Feb 2020 06:03 PM PST Today is the first day I feel genuinely pissed off at Blizzard's lack of responsiveness to the clan bug. Botting unchecked - sigh, ranges of emotions. Macro bazooka meta - sigh, I guess that's the game for LIKE A WHOLE YEAR! just disappointed. All the other stuff - oh well, at least there's the people and clan which is all I care about anymore, since they've literally fucked up every other aspect of this game... Not fixing the clan bug and breaking the clan and my account and unfixed for over a month... GOD DAMN IT! FIX THAT SHIT! Honestly, it's too late to save the clan. It was on its deathbed two weeks ago. WTH, how has that bug gone unresolved for so long? Why do clan bugs keep popping up? Who the hell is running stuff over there? Do you all really not care anymore? submitted by /u/himthatspeaks [link] [comments]
